Has anyone tried B5 with L-Carnitine? From what I have read, B5 works like a miracle for acne but in most cases comes with major hair loss that seems to take a big toll on people's lifes.... I need more info on this I am highly debating on it...

A good question would be - why does B5 work?

Take a look at the Krebs cycle and fatty acid synthesis.

I understand why it works and it seems very reliable i am scared to go on it though

*to get on it i don't want to loose my hair

I agree with that. But what I do not understand is why aren't you fixing the problem about why you "need" to up your fatty acid metabolism?

As you may know you can take less b5 from choosing Pantethine over Pantothenic acid, and less again with COA over Pantethine.

And I do not think COA or even Pantethine in small quantities will make you loose hair, especially not with L-carnitine.

Hmm thank you for letting me know I'll look into it, but I think i already found my cure. my diet!! It sucks, a lot but if i stick to eggs, berrys and chicken with acne fighting spices i don't breakout. pretty much everything else makes me break out!!Right now i'm on the acne.org regimen so i'm going to give myself 2 weeks of eating like this combined with the regimen and see if it works, if it does not i'm going to go back to looking into this
